## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability heurist-mesh-fred-macro-regime-context-b1ec15be -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Give me a full macro regime summary right now — covering inflation, interest rates, labor market conditions, credit conditions, and economic growth all in one shot.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a holistic, cross-pillar macro regime read in a single call rather than querying individual economic series. It is ideal for agents that need macro context to inform investment decisions, portfolio positioning, or economic commentary without building their own aggregation logic. Prefer this over individual FRED series lookups when breadth across all five macro pillars (inflation, rates, labor, credit, growth) is more valuable than depth on any single indicator.

## Known failure modes

- Stale FRED data if underlying series have not been recently updated
- Payment failure if USDC balance is insufficient for the $0.003 per-call fee
- Service unavailability on the Heurist Mesh infrastructure
- Empty or partial response if specific FRED series are temporarily unavailable
- No input validation errors expected as the endpoint requires no user-supplied parameters

## How this service works

Return a curated multi-pillar macro regime summary across inflation, rates, labor, credit conditions, and growth. Use this for a cross-pillar macro summary instead of querying individual series.

## Output

A structured multi-pillar macro regime summary derived from FRED data, covering: inflation dynamics (CPI, PCE trends), interest rate environment (Fed policy stance, yield curve), labor market conditions (employment, wages), credit conditions (spreads, lending standards), and GDP/growth outlook. The response synthesizes these pillars into a cohesive regime characterization useful for investment strategy or economic analysis.
